摘要

Recent experimental advances in superconducting interfaces, heterostructures and nano-grains are revolutionizing the field of low dimensional superconductivity. In contrast with bulk high temperature superconductors, the superior experimental control in these engineered materials offers an ideal playground to unveil novel forms of quantum matter and also to achieve more robust superconductivity. In this talk I give a pedagogical introduction to this emerging field of research that includes some of my contributions to the theory of nano-structured, out of equilibrium and topological superconductors. I also review the research questions that are likely to set the agenda of the field in the coming years. A successful response to these challenges has the potential to open a new era in superconductivity characterized by artificially designed materials with on-demand properties.

报告人简介

Antonio studied physics in the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the University of California in Santa Cruz. He received his PhD by the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He has held appointments in the National University of Singapore, Universidade de Lisboa, University of Tokyo, Université Paris-Sud, and Princeton University (2004-2009). Since 2011 he is a staff member (EPSRC career acceleration fellow) in the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University. His group is composed by two master and two PhD students. He is a condensed matter theorist with a broad spectrum of interests that includes mesosocopic physics, strongly correlated systems at and out of equilibrium, holographic dualities and topological quantum matter. One of the main goals of his research, currently focused on low dimensional superconductivity, is to establish the theoretical basis for the nano-scale design of materials with highly tunable properties.
